Here's a classification breakdown for "LASER SMALL CARD BOOK" based on the provided reference data, aiming for the most accurate HS codes and relevant considerations:
- 4909.00.20.00 – Postcards: This HS code covers printed or illustrated postcards, including those with personal greetings. Given the "CARD BOOK" description, if the item functions primarily as a greeting card collection, this is a potential match. The first two digits (49) indicate printed books, leaflets, and similar materials. The next two (09) specify postcards. Total Tax Rate: 37.5%
- 4909.00.40.00 – Other: If the "LASER SMALL CARD BOOK" doesn't strictly fit the definition of a postcard (e.g., it's more of a promotional item or has a specialized function), this broader "Other" category within printed cards might be appropriate. Again, 49 indicates printed materials, and 09 specifies cards. Total Tax Rate: 30.0%
- 4911.10.00.80 – Trade advertising material, commercial catalogs and the like Other: If the card book is used for advertising or commercial purposes (e.g., a product catalog featuring laser-related items), this HS code could apply. 4911 denotes other printed matter, and 10 specifies commercial catalogs. Total Tax Rate: 37.5%
- 4911.99.80.00 – Other: This is a very broad "catch-all" category for other printed matter. If the card book doesn't fall into any of the more specific categories above, this might be the most appropriate HS code. 4911 signifies other printed matter, and 99 indicates other. Total Tax Rate: 37.5%
Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Functionality: The primary use of the card book is crucial. Is it for greetings, advertising, or another purpose?
- Laser Application: The reference doesn't specifically address laser-printed items. However, the printing method itself doesn't usually change the HS code classification.
- Material: The type of paper or card stock used could be relevant.
- Detailed Description: Provide a more detailed description of the card book's contents and purpose to ensure accurate classification.
- Review 2025.4.2 Changes: Be aware of the increased tariffs taking effect on April 2, 2025, as indicated in the reference data.
- Consult with a Broker: For complex cases, it's always best to consult with a licensed customs broker to ensure compliance.
